The above link should take you to the article I just read on Yahoo titled - "8 veggies, nuts, and grains with more protein than a burger."

I've been reading the comments posted and as always there's the tug of war between meat eaters and non meat eaters, but its interesting how much education is needed on both sides!

I've read only half of the comments and just wanted to stop and leave you the link.

My main questions is this: is protein from non animal sources absorbed as easily as protein from animal sources? I guess that would be the main question I came away with from reading the article and some of the responses.

Have a good day,
Dee

That absorption question is a good one and I don't have the answer.

However, in my mind, nutrients are nutrients. If you body needs them, your body will absorb them. If anything I think all the micronutrients that are in plant foods would make absorption even better.

I know for a fact that my body feels better and functions better without meat and dairy products. That's enough evidence for me.
